(Male MC). MXMXF love triangle -both bl and straight pairing.
Elliot Grant is a quiet, bookish man who spends his nights escaping into the pages of his favorite fantasy-romance novel.

One fateful night, Elliot is mysteriously transported into the story, waking up as a side character: Elias, the prince’s loyal and somewhat overlooked confidant. At first, Elliot is thrilled. He decides to stay true to the story’s plot, determined to play his part without interfering in Aedric and Selene’s fateful romance. He uses his knowledge of the book to subtly ensure their bond grows as written.

But things take an unexpected turn when Elliot’s actions create unintended ripple effects.  Elliot tries to step back, unwilling to disrupt the couple’s destiny, but the growing tension between the three becomes undeniable. 

In a world where bonds are forged by battle and trust, the three must navigate their intertwined feelings while facing looming threats: assassins, a brewing rebellion, and a dark sorcerer bent on controlling the Shattered Crown.

As Elliot’s presence continues to reshape the story, he’s forced to question the very nature of fate. Is he here to witness the love between Aedric and Selene? Or is he meant to be part of it?

The return to the royal palace was quieter than expected, but the tension in the air was palpable. Elias walked with calm, measured steps, his robes brushing the marble floors as they entered the grand hall.

Behind him, Prince Aedric and Lady Selene followed in silence, though both wore expressions of barely concealed frustration.

As they crossed into the palace's inner courtyard, a royal attendant hurried toward them. His uniform was immaculate, but his anxious expression betrayed his nervousness. It was Xavier, one of the emperor's closest advisors.

"Priest Elias," Xavier said, bowing deeply. "His Majesty has summoned you to the throne room immediately."

Elias blinked, his calm demeanor masking the flicker of surprise that crossed his mind. He hadn't expected a direct audience with the emperor so soon — especially not after the events at the temple.
